Netflix
"Stranger Things"
Netflix has already launched the careers of numerous young actors who could be the next generation of movie and TV stars, and their Instagram followings since gaining fame show just how popular they are with audiences.
In fact, Netflix has been so successful at this of late that it spent a big chunk of its latest letter to shareholders taking a victory lap.
In the letter, distributed Tuesday, the streaming giant said, "When our service helps our talent develop huge fan bases (from small followings to over 10 million Instagram followers), we can attract the best talent in the world."
"This explosive growth in popularity is a good indicator that our shows and stars are breaking out around the planet," it added.
Stars like Millie Bobby Brown of "Stranger Things," Katherine Langford of "13 Reasons Why," and Noah Centineo of "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" have well over 10 million followers on Instagram. And that's especially important in today's Hollywood landscape.
"Followers should be FAR more important to talent in Hollywood that Nielsen ratings - followers last beyond your current creative project," BTIG analyst Rich Greenfield wrote on Twitter.
Here are 10 young stars under 30 from Netflix movies and TV shows, with their followings from before they were famous compared to now (as of October 4), according to Netflix:
